1. Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
Start your day with a burst of strawberry flavor with this smoothie. To make this smoothie all you need is Greek yogurt, milk, ice cubes, and sugar-free strawberry preserves. Use a blender to blend these ingredients together until smooth.
2. Banana Bread PB&J
A banana bread PB&J sandwich is a delicious way to start your day. To make this sandwich use non-nutritive sweeteners instead of refined sugar. Then opt for peanut butter with no sugar added, and finally choose your favorite flavor of sugar-free jams or preserves. To make this sandwich, spread no sugar added free peanut butter on one slice of banana bread and sugar-free preserves on the remaining slice and press together to form a sandwich.
3. Strawberry Coffee Cake
Indulge in a guilt-free coffee cake with your morning tea or coffee. For this recipe use non-nutritive sweeteners instead of refined sugar in the cake batter. Spread sugar-free strawberry jam on top of the batter and sprinkle crumbs and nuts over the jam before baking.
4. Jam-Filled Tarts
Looking for more of an on-the-go option? Jam-filled tarts are a great solution. To make these tarts use sugar-free jam as a filling for the pie crusts. Once the tarts are baked and cooled, whisk together sugar-free powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Finally, spread the glaze over the tarts.
5. Waffle PB&J
You can either buy frozen sugar-free waffles or make your own using non-nutritive sweeteners. Opt for peanut butter with no sugar added and sugar-free jam or preserves. To make this PB&J sandwich, spread no sugar added peanut butter on one waffle and sugar-free jam or preserves on the other waffle and press them together to form a sandwich.
6. Flavored Cream Cheese
Make your own fruit flavored cream cheese to spread on toast or bagels. Mix cream cheese in a bowl with your choice of sugar-free jam or preserves until smooth. Finally, serve on your choice of baked goods.
